I've tried different solutions. I still can't get it working. I've tried installing the windows wireless driver. That didn't work. It shows that the hardware is present but doesn't work for some reason. It's not showing my ssid. Even if I try to enter it manually it doesn't work. Please help.

No how would I go about doing this. I'm great at windows but new to this.
I typed it in and got
lo no wireless extensions.
eth0 no wireless extensions.
pan0 no wireless extensions.
wlan1 IEEE 802.11g ESSID:off/any
Mode:Managed Frequency:2.457 GHz Access Point: Not-Associated

I've done a little reading and found out this can help set your ssid, channel, and other settings. I've played around with it a little and still no luck. I've entered
iwconfig wlan1 essid test (which is my test network)
Then typed in
ifconfig wlan1 up
Checked to see if it made a change with
iwconfig
Still getting
root@ubuntu:/home/nbcr# iwconfig

Ubuntu sometimes doesn't readily recognize some brands of modem and WLAN adapters. When this is the case, chances are it can in fact be resolved with a little tweaking. Fret not. I was completely new to Linux a couple years ago and knew nothing. I had problem after problem in migrating all of my machines to ubuntu to run smoothly. But that was a real help in learning. And I am still learning and experimenting with this fantastic OS.
What comes up when you run the command
lspci ?
I'm trying to see what make of wireless device is installed in that model machine.

Thanks for the help, but I've decided (like many) to revert back to windows after a catastrophic failure in which the computer wouldn't even boot up. They really need to work out the compatibility issues before this becomes a mainstream product. Windows may have it's flaws but it's familiar and much easier to work with.
